With “California Love” blaring over the loud speakers at the Warriors’ downtown Oakland practice facility Monday morning, point guard Stephen Curry said he’d choose the 2Pac/Dr. Dre song as his walkup music in baseball.

Yep, the Warriors love California.

They earned the right to play Monday’s winner-take-all Game 7 of the Western Conference finals at home by dancing to an NBA-record 73 victories.

“This is why the regular season was important for us to secure home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. It’s for game like tonight. We don’t take that lightly,” Curry said. “This is a great opportunity, and I know that every fan that’s in Oracle Arena and around the Bay Area is going to be supporting us to bring that energy.

“We’re going to bring it, too.”

Curry said the keys to Game 7 success will be limiting turnovers, moving the ball for great shots and playing physically stout defense without fouling.

He was clearly confident about the situation, but he was careful to defend against thinking the series had already been won. After all, the Warriors were down 3-1 just six days ago.
